'There will be football every day' - Tebas set on June 12 date for La Liga resumption

La Liga president Javier Tebas is hoping the competition can get back underway on June 12, promising matches "every day for 35 days".

The campaign was suspended in March due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 283,000 people worldwide to date.

Spain has been one of the worst affected countries in Europe, but the death rate in the country has fallen to its lowest point in seven weeks after emerging from a strict lockdown.

"I don't know. It will depend on the phases. I wish it was June 12. It will depend on the phases," he told Movistar.

"It will depend on the spikes in the virus... the first and the second division will end at the same time.
